Chapter 823: Curtis’s Killing Intent Toward An’an

“Ssss—”

Curtis had also come up to the top floor without anyone noticing. When he heard Bai Qingqing’s words, he emitted a cold disposition.

That soft little thing suddenly became unusually irksome in his eyes.

“You’ll be in danger!” Curtis said.

Bai Qingqing knew that Curtis was angry. If it was in the past, she’d have given in. However, when her child was concerned, her attitude was firm.

“As long as An’an can be cured, I won’t be afraid no matter how dangerous it is,” Bai Qingqing said firmly.

Curtis’s pupils narrowed, and he emitted killing intent.

Bai Qingqing hugged An’an closely in her arms and looked straight into his eyes without any signs of backing off.

The setting sun dyed the clouds in a brilliant fiery red color, making Curtis’s pupils that had contracted into a thin line appear increasingly blood-red and dangerous.

Parker suddenly stood in front of Bai Qingqing and looked straight at Curtis, whose gaze was filled with killing intent.

“What are you thinking of doing?”

Parker got onto his guard and bent his legs slightly as if he was ready to leap at any moment.

Only then did Bai Qingqing notice Curtis’s killing intent. She stiffened and hugged An’an even closer to her.

Seeing that Bai Qingqing was fully reliant on the leopard beastman, Curtis’s heart seethed like the tsunamis. He clenched his hands by his side tightly together.

“I only want you to be well.” After Curtis said that, he looked at them coldly and then swayed his snake tail and went down.

Bai Qingqing didn’t expect him to have such a cold and aloof attitude toward An’an. She was stunned. She grabbed Parker’s arm and pleaded in a crying tone. “You must help me.”

Even Winston might not have agreed to this. Mature males were more rational and wouldn’t let their mates be exposed to the slightest danger.

However, Parker was only in his twenties. Being at a hot-blooded age, how could he stand watching his mate crying? He immediately agreed.

“I’ll do whatever you want me to do.”

Bai Qingqing leaned against his chest, rubbing her face against him. “Thank you.”

The two of them cuddled together and stood there for very long.

The sky turned dark, transforming the world dark for a moment, then was encompassed by a layer of cold moonlight.

An’an opened her eyes wide and looked around. Her gaze was then fixed on the luminous ball on the wood that she was holding onto.

Only then did Bai Qingqing understand that An’an had treated the light as her hope. She thought that the sky was bright and that she wouldn’t be in pain.

Bai Qingqing’s heart wrenched up, and she held onto An’an tightly.

Sensing An’an’s body tensing up, Bai Qingqing thought of something and quickly backed out from the range of the moonlight, turning to dash toward the stairway.

This toxicity might have a similar principle as to how the tides were affected by the moon’s gravity. It might be beneficial to bring An’an to a lower place.

Parker immediately chased after her. “Qingqing, run slower.”

The adults were all thrown into a state of anxiety. An’an cried loudly in the stairway, putting up a fierce struggle in Bai Qingqing’s arms.

The strength of a six-month-old child was very big. Bai Qingqing was unable to hold onto her and passed her to Parker midway.

Both of them dashed into the bedroom. The room was pitch-black, and Bai Qingqing anxiously brought out the luminous ball from the chest. Only then did she notice that Curtis was in the room as well.

However, his gaze was very cold, especially when he looked at An’an.

Knowing that Curtis had a killing intent toward An’an, Bai Qingqing felt even more anxious.

An’an’s cry was sharp and piercing. Bai Qingqing was afraid that Curtis would kill An’an because he felt annoyed.

An’an went into a loud wailing mode again, and there was no way to coax her. The two adults didn’t waste any effort in trying and just watched over her anxiously by her side.

At the latter half of the night, Bai Qingqing was unable to hold on anymore. She turned and took a glance at Curtis. His eyes were open too.
